| Euro To Dollar Rate 5-Year Outlook: “Significantly Weaker USD Possible” Say Berenberg Foreign exchange analysts at Berenberg warn of potential challenges for the US dollar (USD) in the longer-term outlook, citing mounting US government debt and possible debt refinancing issues. This fiver-year long-term view projects a possible significant weakening of the USD exchange rates. However, by the end of 2023, analysts predict a substantial appreciation of the Euro-Dollar exchange rate to 1.1200. The recent trajectory of the EUR/USD has been noteworthy, note the FX strategists. After a promising climb to 1.1200 mid-year, it subsequently slipped below the 1.1000 threshold. This descent mirrored Berenberg’s prior predictions, with certain influencing factors at play. A notable influencer is the US’s monetary policies and resultant inflation dynamics. Euro To Dollar Rate 5-Year Outlook: “Significantly Weaker USD Possible” Say Berenberg |
